Hensel Weissburgunder Chardonnay

The craftsmanship of Weingut Hensel translated into liquid perfection. When Thomas Hensel founded his winery in 1990, this was his vision for wine: to elevate German wines to a new level. German wines have long suffered from a poor reputation. Thanks in part to the efforts of Weingut Hensel, this has changed. From Pfalz, a wine region southwest of Frankfurt, today emerges beautiful, delicate wines that can compete with the world's best. Forget the sweet wines; it's time for Hensel Weissburgunder Chardonnay.

A beautiful duo from Weingut Hensel

Two grape varieties were used for this Hensel white wine. First, Chardonnay, a grape that thrives. Because the Palatinate is only slightly further north than, for example, Chablis, the Chardonnay also creates beautiful wines at Wiengut Hensel, comparable to Burgundy. They also use Weissburgunder, a grape also known as Pinot Blanc. This unusual combination in Hensel Weissburgunder Chardonnay creates an exciting wine: the richness of Chardonnay with the mild and refreshing freshness of Weissburgunder.
